There are eleven main windows in P6 Professional. You can open as many windows as necessary; each open window displays as a tab below the active tab title bar, which is just below toolbar area. To navigate between open windows, click the appropriate tab. To close a window, click the x to the right on the active tab title bar. The name of the currently active window appears in the active tab title bar below the toolbar area. Some menu commands and toolbar icons pertain only to specific windows, so the currently active window, as well as the layout currently displayed in the active window, determines which menu commands and toolbar icons are enabled and disabled. In each main window, you can use the Display or Layout Options bar, which appears at the top left of each window's workspace, to customize your view of global and project data. For example, you can show window details; customize table columns; group, sort, and filter data; customize fonts and colors; expand or collapse all grouped data; set layout options; and more.
Tip You can also access all of the functionality available in the Display or Layout Options bar from toolbars and menus.
